NYS planning to phase out Regents exams as graduation requirement

The state of New York is planning to phase out Regents exams as a requirement for high school graduation starting next school year. Dandan Zou reports in NEWSDAY that under the proposed vision of a yearslong initiative known as New York Inspires, seniors in the Class of 2028 would instead be asked to demonstrate proficiency in ways beyond standardized tests — including, possibly, capstone projects, industry-recognized credentials, work-based learning experiences and Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate courses.

New York State’s education system is in steep decline. Enrollment is down, but spending is up, and academic results are either stagnant or declining. It’s time to reform our system of governance by axing the Board of Regents and giving the governor direct control of the State Department of Education.
